I'm steadily building, I mean sanding, away at my FB canopy frame.
I've been wondering about smoke/fumes elimination with the FB canopy. Let's assume smoke in the cockpit, all electrical equipment has been turned off and the source has stopped producing smoke.
Does the air vent, heater vent or both provide enough pressure to remove smoke/fumes?
What if the source doesn't stop producing smoke.
Can the aircraft be slowed down enough to open the canopy to the taxi position? I'm thinking this is a last resort for relief/survival.
Now back to sanding.
Thanks,
